Panasonic issued new firmware updates for its popular GH5, GH5s and G9 cameras today. The updates are supposed to fix some minor issues in the current firmware and improve the autofocus performance on all three cameras, which have been criticized for their AF performance being somewhat behind on the competition. Panasonic has been eagerly pushing firmware updates to the cameras since their release, this marking the sixth version of the GH5’s firmware. Here’s what you need to know.
Upon the release of the GH5 and later the GH5s its continuous autofocus performance in video was met with less than enthusiastic reactions by many shooters – see our own video test of the GH5s autofocus capabilities by clicking here. This was probably due to Panasonic’s claims prior to release that the camera’s performance in that sector was massively improved. What followed was something of a divide, with some of the camera’s users claiming the autofocus was just lacking (after all it does use contrast detection, while most cameras considered to have good autofocus in video mode use phase detection) and others saying it was mostly misunderstood, yet completely workable if used in the right way. The G9 mostly seemed to share the exact same issues, having the same autofocusing system as the GH5 and GH5s.
The workarounds mostly consisted of focus area or point selection instead of using the full focus area and/or just letting the camera track a subject. The problem observed by shooters was a common one in a contrast based AF system, namely back focusing and hunting while tracking a subject. Now Panasonic claims to have improved just that problem in this firmware update. Both the detection of the actual subject in frame, as well as the automatic focus area selection (to keep it on the subject) seem to have been improved by further tweaking the algorithms. This should also prevent the dreaded backfocusing issues.
Side-by-side AF test of GH5s with Firmware 1.1 and 1.2
We already tested the new firmware release and decided to put two GH5s bodies with the exact same lens and settings, but two different firmware versions 1.1 and 1.2 next to each other, testing the performance.
We are not exaggerating when we say that we were mightily impressed with the results. Somehow Panasonic managed to make the autofocus really significantly better, even though we are working with a contrast-based system here. It accurately recognized Nino’s face many times during the test while the old version completely failed. It’s noteworthy that the AF mode with the 225 AF points is the one we used for the test and that’s what’s so massively improved.
Huge improved AF performance on our side-by-side test with the new firmware on the GH5s.
We shot an interview with Panasonic at Photokina recently where we talked about the firmware update as well as their lens announcemend. You can read all about it here and watch the video below.
There were also some bugs in the current firmware addressed by this update. Here’s an overview:
Updates to the GH5 (firmware 2.4)
Improvement of tracking performance and minimizing of backfocusing in continuous AF mode with 225 AF points
Fix of a One-Push-AE bug in Creative M mode, when SS/Gain-Operation is set to Angle/ISO
Fix of bug that sometimes caused timecode to be reset upon battery change
Fix of a bug that caused showing all footage, instead of just the intended frame in 6k/4k Photo mode
Updates to the GH5S (firmware 1.2):
Improvement of tracking performance and minimizing of backfocusing in continuous AF mode with 225 AF points
Fix of a bug that caused the camera to not react appropriately to brightness changes under fluorescent light
Fix of a One-Push-AE bug in Creative M mode, when SS/Gain-Operation is set to Angle/ISO
Improvement of image quality when using V-Log for VFR recording in Creative Mode
Improvement of image quality when using the Intelligent Dynamic Range Control feature
Updates to the G9 (firmware 1.2):
Improvement of tracking performance and minimizing of backfocusing in continuous AF mode with 225 AF points
Fix of a bug that caused the camera to not react appropriately to brightness changes under fluorescent light
The updates are available now and can be downloaded here:
GH5 firmware 2.4GH5S firmware 1.2G9 firmware 1.2

Panasonic have not only announced their new full frame mirrorless cameras – the LUMIX S line – they also announced interesting news for the micro four thirds community: Firstly, there will be a new Panasonic firmware update for the GH5 and GH5S, which will improve the continuous autofocus function (AFC). Secondly, the company has announced the development of a new fast wide zoom lens – the Panasonic Leica 10-25mm f/1.7.
Panasonic Firmware Update for the GH5 (v.2.4) and GH5S (v.1.2)
Both announced firmware updates are about to be released in late October 2018. We will post the link to the update as it becomes available.
The most significant part of the update, which applies to both the GH5 and GH5S, is the improvement of autofocus (AF) performance. With the previous firmware, there were cases where the focus point was shifted to the background while tracking the subject in AFC mode. The new firmware minimizes this problem. Tracking performance in continuous AF has been improved by optimizing the tracking algorithm. Now, the subject will be tracked even when actively moving, for example in sports scenes, where the focus previously shifted to the background.
The second important improvement for both, the GH5 and GH5S fixes a bug in video recording operation. The one push AE (exposure setting) failed to operate when the shutter speed/gain was set to angle/ISO while shooting in Creative Video M mode. This bug has been fixed and one push AE works now.
Improvements for the GH5S only:
Operating stability during variable frame rate (VFR) recording via HDMI output has been improved.
Improvements of video recording performance – the image quality when using V-log for VFR recording in creative video mode has been improved. Also, the image quality when set to i.Dynamic (intelligent dynamic range control) has been improved.
Improvement of operation under specific lighting conditions (fluorescent lights, etc.) – there were cases where the camera did not catch up with the change in brightness smoothly under specific lighting conditions such as fluorescent lights. This problem is now minimized with the new firmware.
Panasonic Leica 10-25mm f/1.7 MFT Lens
In the shade of the announcement of the LUMIX S series full frame mirrorless cameras, these news might seem a little forgotten. Panasonic, however, did not forget their large micro four thirds customer base. They announced the development of a new lens in cooperation with Leica – the fastest zoom lens in the Panasonic portfolio – the Panasonic Leica 10-25mm f/1.7 (full frame equivalent of 20-50mm).
This lens should feature superb image quality, which we know from existing Panasonic Leica lenses (like the Nocticron 42.5mm f/1.2 or the 25mm f/1.4 MFT lens). In the words of Panasonic: It should replace five fast prime lenses. That is how much they believe in the image quality of the lens.
Now, the news from Panasonic were just a development announcement. As you can see in our video interview, Panasonic only displayed a 3D-printed mockup lens here at Photokina. We have been informed that we should not expect the lens to come in the early 2019. Panasonic might have more info about the lens during next Photokina, which will be in May 2019.
What do you think of the new firmware updates or the new fast zoom lens from Panasonic? Did you experience any of the bugs, which the new firmware fixes? Are you planning to invest in the lens? Let us know in the comments below.

The new firmware update for Panasonic LUMIX cameras has just been released. It addresses the Panasonic GH5, GH5S and G9, and improves autofocus, sound quality and adds more features.
This firmware update – which is available now and is free (download links below) – deals with autofocus performance, adds new monochrome photo styles and upgrades sound quality for video recording.
As a GH5 owner I welcome this new firmware greatly as that camera’s autofocus (AF) performance is considered – by many users – to be quite poor. Although I mostly do not use the AF with the GH5, in some situations (like gimbal filming or vlogging) a good AF can help a lot. I am very curious about how significant the improvement is.
Panasonic LUMIX DC-GH5 Firmware 2.3
New firmware version 2.3 (download link and full details can be found here) adds or improves following features:
Improved AF performance – increased tracking AF performance. Allowing users to follow their subject while recording movies.
Improvement of Body I.S.(Image Stabilizer) performance
• There were cases where peripheral distortion occurred in video recording while walking when used with Panasonic wide zoom lenses (H-F007014, H-E08018). This bug has been fixed.
L. Monochrome D & Grain effect – The new L. Monochrome D photo style captures darker tones and greater contrast. Grain effects are available in different strengths for all monochrome settings.
Live View Boost – viewfinder screen and LCD monitor can be displayed brighter than the image recorded. This allows users to check the composition in low-light environments and helps to frame the shot.
MF Assist – more accurate manual focusing for photos and videos. Magnification goes up to 20x in MF Assist mode.
Night Mode – camera screen displays all information in red to not be disturbing for night use.
Like 709 & V-LogL improvements – Like 709, V-LogL and V-LogL View Assist in Photo Style can now be used for still photo shooting and time lapse video. [LUT Monitor Display] and [LUT HDMI Display] can be used in playback mode to check the appearance. Note that you still need to have the V-Log update purchased.
Enhanced sound quality – sound quality has been improved by optimising the performance of the internal noise cancelling microphone.
Additional information can be found here.

Improved High Resolution Mode – The aperture range of the G9’s high resolution photo mode has been expanded – from F8 to F11 – and the motion correction has been improved.
Enhanced sound quality – sound quality has been improved by optimising the performance of the internal noise cancelling microphone.
I am glad to see that manufacturers like Panasonic listen to their customers and bring firmware updates to fix any issues or weak spots of their products. The GH5, for instance, really went a long way from when it was first launched to the market.
Can you see improvements in your camera performance after installing the new firmware? (Especially AF performance). Share your experience with us in the comment section below.

The Panasonic GH5S has started to ship and one of the most frequent questions we are being asked is: how good is the autofocus? In order to find out, I’ve composed this simple video sample for you guys to judge it for yourself.
Of course, it would have been easy to place my “good face for radio” in front of the camera and jump in and out of the frame to determine the functionality of the autofocus, but why make life easy when if I can complicate things?
Why use autofocus?
In case you are asking yourself why would one choose to shoot in autofocus mode, then the answer is clear. This is a real word shooting scenario, meaning, a low-budget production handled by a single operator using a modestly-priced camera mounted on an affordable handheld gimbal. In such a case, a follow focus puller and his rig are not an option.
Panasonic GH5S
The storyline:
In order to execute this autofocus test I’ve teamed up with the dear people at Bösendorfer, a world leading class Austrian piano manufacturer and Jan Jiracek von Armin who is an extremely busy talented leading pianist and a piano professor. We gathered at the Bösendorfer showroom in order to film a short introduction to their selection of pianos.
Setting up the Panasonic GH5S:
While exploring the camera, I was not so happy with its autofocus performance, but in order to be double cautious, I decided to look online and choose 2 popular videos which successfully demonstrate how to set up the original GH5 for better autofocus performance. The videos I looked at were from Scott McKenna and Nick Stubbs. While Scott and Nick showed completely different methods on how to set up the camera for better autofocus performance, their results were the same: success! It is also worth mentioning that I chose the settings in their videos because I was looking for a way to nail accurate focus at the center of my frame (my protagonist’s face), and those two methods dealt with it in a successful way.
Here are Scott’s and Nick’s settings:
Scott’s Panasonic GH5 setting
Scott’s autofocus settings: AF mode: 1-Area. AF Custom Settings: ON, AF speed +5, AF sensitivity, +1
Nick’s Panasonic GH5 setting
Nick’s autofocus settings: AF mode: Custom Multi, AF Custom Settings: OFF,
My results with the Panasonic GH5S:
Thinking those settings would work well on the GH5S, I experimented and decided to shoot the video above multiple times in both settings. Unlike them, however, my final result was less satisfying. At times, the camera changed its autofocus point with no real evident reason UNLESS some contrasty images in my frame really distracted it from nailing it 100%. Most disturbing is the scene where Jan’s face was fully on-camera, yet the GH5S still chose to focus elsewhere. Can it be that the green emergency sign on the left side of Jan’s face confused the AF system?
Jan’s face in focus
Jan’s face out of focus
Conclusion:
This is by no means meant to be a scientific experiment. It is a simple “true to working life” field test that was executed with camera settings which I hoped would give me good results. While it is fine about 90% of the time, there is absolutely room for improvement. Hopefully it can be done via a firmware update.

The FilmConvert GH5S camera profile is out now. It can help with color grading the footage from Panasonic’s new mirrorless camera as well as matching the footage with other cameras.
FilmConvert GH5S camera profile released
Panasonic GH5S (check out our hands-on here) is the new “low light brother” of the popular Panasonic GH5 (here’s our low-light shoot-out video between the two). It does not have In-body image stabilization (IBIS), but it solves one of the weak spots of the GH5: low light sensitivity. It has Dual ISO and much bigger pixels as the image sensor resolution dropped roughly 2x. It is a bit more expensive than the GH5, but it already has the VLog-L logarithmic gamma curve color profile included with the price.
FilmConvert just released the camera profile for the Panasonic GH5S, and is designed to help with color grading all types of picture profiles with the Panasonic GH5S including the VLog-L. The profile is now ready to be downloaded for free from their website.
FilmConvert camera profiles are dedicated data packs that increase the color accuracy for your footage. The data packs work in both the FilmConvert plugins and the standalone grading software. They cannot be loaded directly into the camera, although the software allows export of LUTs with the color settings to use in-camera. Please note that the camera packs need the latest version of FilmConvert plugin for full compatibility.
FilmConvert can either be used as a stand-alone application or as a plugin which is supported by most NLEs. It is designed to help with and speed up the color grading process, and is mainly useful for creatives who don’t have either the skills or time to grade their footage “from scratch”.
To get the FilmConvert GH5S camera profile visit this website, choose the camera model, operating system and localization and click download.
Do you already shoot with the GH5S? Are FilmConvert camera profiles something you use? Let us know in the comments below.

As promised, after a lot of sweat and tears, here’s my low-light shootout of the Panasonic GH5S vs. GH5. Can the GH5S live up to its promise and finally give a Panasonic GH camera usable low-light capabilities? Let’s find out!
Panasonic touts their newly announced GH5S as the low-light king, and just like with the Sony a7S (and a7S II) the S stands for “sensitivity”. Low-light sensitivity, that is.
Panasonic GH5S and GH5 side-by-side
So I thought: before we put it up against the a7S II, I have to put it up against the original GH5. After all, the cameras have the same sensor size and share the same body. It’s mostly the sensor that’s new: with its 10.3 megapixels (vs. the 20.3 on the GH5) it supposedly produces less noise due to the larger – and therefore more light-sensitive – pixels.
Together with our writer Jakub Han I went out on Vienna’s cold winter streets and decided to film around the water of the Danube canal at night. A poorly-lit area which should make differences evident immediately.
If you want to skip from my talking straight to the side-by-side low light images of the two cameras, head to the 2:15 mark in the video.
Surprisingly clean high ISOs in the GH5S
I was surprised by how clear the low-light capabilities between the two cameras really are. Even at relatively low ISOs – such as the second native ISO of 2500 on the GH5S (the other one is 400) – the clarity of the image compared to the GH5 was absolutely astounding. This was most obvious in Hybrid Log Gamma, as V-Log is by nature more noisy as it needs more color grading, where the blacks usually get crushed again.
Nino Leitner out shooting the low-light comparison between the Panasonic GH5S and GH5
And it just went on and on… the higher you go, the more evident the difference is. The image on the GH5S is cleaner than the GH5 across the board. There is really not much more to say other than it’s by far the cleanest and most sensitive Micro Four-Thirds camera that I have ever seen. It will be very interesting to put it up against the Sony a7S II.
Mind you, the GH5 can only do 12,800 ISO max, while the GH5S can go all the way up to ISO 204,800. However, in V-Log mode it can “only” go up to ISO 25,600. The higher ISOs are available in all other picture profiles (e.g. Cinelike, HLG, etc.) after turning on the “extended ISO” settings in the menu.
Would you like to learn more about the new Panasonic GH5S? Head to our “Hands-on review”, or see the short documentary we shot with it. Oh, and don’t forget to look at the exclusive interview we made with the gentleman behind the new camera!
What do you think about the low-light capabilities of the GH5S compared to the GH5? Comment below!

An interview with Yosuke Yamane-san, the head of imaging at Panasonic, and a key person behind the newly announced Panasonic GH5S about the new camera and beyond.
If the English subtitles do not appear automatically, please press the CC button on YouTube’s player on the downside right corner.
It was late November. Osaka’s sky was very grey and Panasonic’s headquarter building couldn’t have looked gloomier from the outside – yet the people inside were very warm and welcoming to me. After spending several hours with the team of engineers who were actually behind the development of the new GH5S as well as the marketing team, I met with Yosuke Yamane-san, the division president, to conduct my interview. In his previous duty, Yamane-san was in charge on the development of the original GH5 and Panasonic’s EVA1. Now after some internal restructuring, the GH5S is his new baby.
In the time we spent together, I learned more about what led to develop the new camera, why some components were removed, what to look for with future developments and A LOT more.
I hope you will find this interview informative. Also, if you are interested in the new Panasonic GH5S, please take a look at our previous articles: Panasonic GH5S Video Hands-On – Highlights of the New Camera and Panasonic GH5S Footage – Shooting a Mini Documentary Nino’s low-light comparison between the GH5S and the GH5 will be posted later today.
Below is a rundown of my questions and the time in the video to find them:
0:20 – Where does the new GH5S leave the GH5?
2:30 – Will you consider offering an upgrade plan for GH5 owners?
3:53 – Any Internal concerns that the GH5S will cannibalise the EVA1 sales?
5:18 – Why did you decide to introduce an enhanced camera model?
6:34 – Why was the body IS removed from the GH5S?
7:30- Were any autofocus improvements done for the new camera?
8:15 – What is the future of the Panasonic GH camera line?
If you have additional questions to Panasonic in regards to the new camera, please share them with us in the comment section. We will do our best to get some response to them.
